Your friend may be right, the could be a blockage in your heater core. Just trying to pull off that hose without breaking and bending lines will be a PITA.

Try this first. Right above the two hoses for your heater core is a thin metal cable and at the end it is a ring shape, this cable has a plastic protectant around it. Check to see if the cable is still attached or if it just rusted off its location. Many cars have this cable rust and when it snaps off your heater is left at the position it was last in. (So maybe it snapped during the summer and now its stuck on cold) If it is than you can ether replace this cable but that runs through your heater controls or the easy fix is to get a flat head and manually turn it over and it is now set to regualte heat.

Hope that helps and saves some time
